Anyone ever use a heater in a blind? I was thinking of trying to use a small gas heater in my ground blind. It is very cold here now. Might be able to stay out longer with heat....What do you think?

Sounds like a good idea just make sure not to spill any fuel on your hunting gear because of the strong smell.

It was about 10 degrees yesterday evening friend of mine tried it turned it off about an hour before shooting time said it worked pretty good. He used the propane heater on a tank. He had several deer close enough to shoot. I am thinking of trying the small propane tank and heater. What do you think?

Go for it. Only one way to find out.

i have a large 5x7 metal blind. it gets very cold. we have always used propane heaters.use coleman fuel as the cheaper brands give off a odor. do not turn heater on til daylight. it will light up the stand if too early

Glad to hear someone else using heater. It must work OK for you.
Do you leave you metal blind up most of the time or take it up and down?

i leave my stand up year around so the deer will get used to it

I just purchased two coleman blackcat heaters this year to use in a ground blind, they work great, easy to carry and run up to 8 hrs on a tank of gas. gives off 3,000 btu of heat. also set one up to use in my tree stand, just enough heat to keep your feet warm, but that is a different story.

I use them and like them a lot. They hiss a bit but it can be kept to a minimum if you turn them down low. I've had deer right up next to the shooting house with the heater running and I've never had one notice it. It beats the heck out of freezing.

We use the propane heaters in the shooting range and they are great for keeping your legs warm
